During that photo shoot, photographer Shane LaVancher and I squeezed in three shots of model Tina J wearing sterling-silver rings from my WENDYB by Wendy Brandes diffusion line.

Amber Rose’s Engagement Ring (Plus Whipahol)
I’ve been fascinated by celebrity-by-association Amber Rose since she and her blonde Sinead O’Connor hairdo popped up on various red carpets with ex-boyfriend Kanye West. I took notice late last year when she did a sex-ay commercial for Smirnoff‘s Whipped Cream and Fluffed Marshmallow vodkas. Amber Rose PLUS whipped-cream-flavor alcohol? Sign me up. I did…
What Wendy Wore: Valentine’s Day Flashback
NOTE TO YELAWOLF FANS: Scroll to the bottom for the Yelawolf health news. Then scroll up a bit for a cute picture of Gangsta Boo and Speakerfoxxx.

Jewel of the Month: Aquamarine, March’s Birthstone
All you March babies are entitled to a fabulous birthday gift this month, and I’ve got the perfect thing. I made one of my 18K gold Livia poison rings with March’s birthstone, aquamarine.

My Customized Evelina Ring for Marian Kihogo
I’m doing some collaborating with gorgeous London blogger Marian Kihogo and her model friend Tolula. I’ve loved Marian’s style for a long time. Her pattern-mixing, fondness for bright colors (especially in lipstick!), and trademark turban make her stand out, as does her height — she’s 6’1″ without shoes! Marian wears a lot of chunky rings,…
Cleopatra Girls
Earlier this week, I posted a photo of gorgeous model/DJ/musician/actress Tolula Adeyemi wearing my silver Cleopatra earrings. Now you can see her wearing them on Essence’s website, too. Tolula did a photo diary for the site for New York Fashion Week. In addition to the Cleopatra earrings, she’s wearing my Agrippina poison ring, Clemence ring,…
Ladies, Buy Yourself Jewelry for Valentine’s Day
It’s Valentine’s Day, and if you’re a single lady, give yourself a round of applause. It’s better to be single than be with someone (male or female!) who doesn’t treat you well. You deserve the best! I’ll put my money where my mouth is and say that any lady who orders herself a piece of…
